To me it’s all about risk/benefit ratio. As many say on here - we sure as hell don’t know everything about the virus nor the vaccine. So, this is my opinion based on facts as I have seen them and “facts” that I have read. The youngest patients that I have personally had die were 53 and 54. Both males with no real underlying comorbidities. They are outliers and it is still unclear why they succumb other than being extremely ill by the time t he eat sought medical attention. I suspect both of you guys would do well if y’all contracted Covid. SC you are a higher risk due to your age but other than that you have no real co morbidities. I’m 59 and in pretty good shape. I had Covid and felt like crap but never felt threatened. I elected to get the vaccine because of my fear of spreading it to my elderly patients. I personally would recommend both of you guys get the vaccine but I do believe in your right to decide that for yourself. As far as I can tell from my experience - and I don’t do OB- their has been no real issues with the shot.
